Situ Jin looked at Manny: "You have a lot of sailing experience, don't you?"
Manny wanted to be humble, but he was afraid that his modesty would make Situ believe that he would miss the opportunity again!
So after a moment's hesitation, he nodded, "Yes, Lord Duke, I have been sailing since I was 17 years old, and now I am 42 years old! It is no exaggeration to say that I spend more time on the ocean than I do on land!"
"So how many people can you bring?" Situ Jin then asked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Hearing Situ Jin's culture, Manny was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Situ Jin to run to the topic so directly, without a word of nonsense, which was a good sign for him.
Manny hesitated in his heart whether to go back to Situ Jin with 300 or 500 people, would 500 be too much?
But in the next second, Situ Jin suddenly said to him: "Give you 10,000 people first, how about ten ships?"
"Huh?" Maniden was dumbfounded, he thought he must be dreaming, and if he knew that the ship he was talking about was completely different from the little sailboat he had thought, he would have fainted in surprise.
Situ Jin's surprise to him was far more than that: "Manny, if you can bring back the ten ships I gave you full of various resources, then I will give you more people and ships!"
Manny stood there dumbfounded, the surprise came so suddenly that his mind couldn't turn for a moment.
After a while, Manny finally showed his due reaction, and looked at Situ Jin in ecstasy: "Lord Duke, are you telling the truth? Are you really willing to give me so many people and boats?"
Situ Jin smiled: "Do I look like I'm joking with you?"
Manny shook his head repeatedly, the light in his eyes flashed, and the whole person came to life at once!
In the past few years, he has traveled too many places, received too many cold eyes, and has been rejected too many times, on the surface he seems to be very strong, and still insists on what he insists on, but in fact, his heart has long been full of holes!
Especially in the past year, Manny felt that his steps were getting heavier and heavier, and he thought about giving up countless times, but when he thought of his dead friends, and thought of the other world they had found at sea, he told himself over and over again that he would not give up until the last moment!
However, Manny was really tired, and the pressure on his heart was getting bigger and bigger! If he couldn't find anyone willing to support him, then the things he was pressing on his heart could crush him to death little by little.
Now hearing Situ Jin's words, Manny's whole body suddenly relaxed, and he had a feeling that he had finally breathed again.
Erwin had been standing aside, listening to Situ Jin's words about giving Manny 10,000 men and ten ships, and he looked up and looked deeply at Situ Jin.
Situ Jin didn't explain anything to Erwin, after a brief chat, he directly pulled Manny into his study, he had too many things to ask Manny, and the two chatted in the study for a whole day and a night!
When the door of Situ Jin's study finally opened again, the faces of both of them shone with a strange brilliance.
"Manny, thank you! I feel very rewarding after chatting with you for a day and a night!" Situ Jin said with a smile.
Although Situ Jin showed great enthusiasm for Manny, Manny did not dare to exceed the rules: "I want to thank the Duke for being talented, thank you for being willing to listen to me and give me such great support!"
After Manny finished speaking, Situ Jin immediately said: "Manny, don't say that, if everyone knows that what you said is true, I believe that everyone is willing to spare no effort to support you, I just believe you one step ahead of others!"
"You don't know how important your 'early belief' is to me, and I don't think I will last much longer if I fail with you again!" Manny confessed.
Situ Jin patted Manny on the shoulder.
At this moment, Beglas came from the end of the stairs, he wanted to come up and have a look, and if Stuart and Manny were still talking, he would have breakfast brought into Stuart's study, but the two of them were finally done!
"Young Master, it's time for breakfast, do you want to eat here or go back and eat with your family?" Beglais is already a very qualified butler, and his words and deeds show the demeanor of a big housekeeper!
Situ Jin said: "Beglais, this is Mr. Manny, you take him to breakfast first, and I'll go back and eat with my family later!"
After speaking, fearing that Manny would misunderstand, Situ Jin said to Manny: "Manny, as long as there are no special circumstances, I will usually accompany my family to dine together, so I won't accompany you for a while!"
"Lord Duke is so polite!"
After being in contact with Situ Jin for a while, Manny found that Situ Jin was a very special person, completely different from the powerful and big people he knew!
Although Situ Jin exudes a strong aura, he is extremely gentle and elegant towards people, and he does not have the lofty arrogance of a superior person at all, and this not only does not detract from his majesty at all, but makes people feel that he is more worthy of respect and makes people feel more eager to get close to him!
Of course, there is more to it than that, but Jean Manny said that he couldn't find so many suitable words to organize sentences for a while, he just felt very comfortable staying with Situ Jin, to be exact, it was Situ Jin who made him feel very comfortable.
"And, Beglais!" Situ Jin added, "After breakfast, you find someone to make some clothes for Manny, and then arrange a room for him!"
"Lord Duke......" Manny didn't expect Situ Jin to think so much about him, he didn't know what words to use to express his gratitude to Situ Jin in his heart, so he could only say: "This is too disturbing for you, you don't have to worry about me, you really don't have to ......"
Situ Jin looked at Manny, "Do you have a place to stay on the island?"
"......" Manny was speechless for a while, how could he have a place to stay? In the past two years, he has traveled so many countries, and the money he brought out has long been spent, in fact, he has been sleeping in the wilderness at night these days, otherwise how could Hurt not find him after so much effort to find him?
"Okay, Manny, you can live with me first!" Situ Jin saw Manny's embarrassment, didn't ask much, and said directly: "When you have a place to live, you will move out of me!" Don't feel embarrassed, anyway, I have a lot of empty rooms here, and I'm afraid I have a lot of things to discuss with you in the future, and it is convenient for me to find you at any time if you live with me!"
Manny hadn't cried since he was a child, not even when his friends had left him one by one, but at the moment he felt his eyes heat a little: "Thank you, Lord Duke!" Manny said in a hoarse voice.
